Chapter 1888: Chapter 10038: Train Paranormal Incident (Part 3)

But all upper-grade students are also on this train. The grade leaders came out first, quickly comforting the emotions of the little wizards on the train with the older students at their center.

“Everyone, don’t worry. Please remain calm.”

“We have already sent for the teacher on duty. Our Muggle Studies teacher, Professor Quirinus Quirrell, is currently on the train.”

“This should be some kind of unexpected magical incident.”

The older students walked down the train aisle with their magic wands out. Though the Lighting Spell cast from the wand’s tip was the simplest of spells, the light it emitted dispelled the darkness, bringing a sense of reassurance to the little wizards.

Quirinus Quirrell used to teach the elective Muggle Studies course, possessing a solid theoretical foundation. It was for this reason that he was chosen as this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

However, when he was out traveling, intending to enhance his practical abilities, he encountered Voldemort, who thus parasitized the back of his head, causing him to become mentally unstable, transformed into a stuttering, cowardly, timid person afraid of the light.

But this time, he was the only teacher on the train…

“Whether having this teacher on the train is a blessing or a curse remains unknown; it could even be that this incident was caused by him…”

Tao Yu’s eyes flickered with a hint of contemplation.

This is not the power of the Wizard World; it should be some kind of eerie presence.

Moreover, this wasn’t something that happened by mere chance.

It’s normal for the Wizard World to study all sorts of strange things; perhaps some student directly brought a sealed contraband from home and opened it here, or it’s some kind of operation by Voldemort and Quirinus Quirrell…

“Oh, what happened?”

Ron couldn’t help but shrink his neck at this moment, seemingly feeling a bit terrified.

Meanwhile, the usually quiet Neville spoke up, which was quite rare. Despite his usual poor memory, this time, he managed to stammer out a complete sentence.

“This, this is something my grandmother mentioned to me. Recently, some eerie incidents have occasionally occurred, and she specifically made a crystal ball for me that turns red if something happens.”

Neville hesitantly took out a crystal ball from his pocket, which was glowing red and felt hot.

“Oh, that’s terrible. I’ve heard about this; some of these incidents can be deadly.”

Ron wailed as he spoke.

His father works at the Ministry of Magic, so he’s well-informed on these matters.

“Fe-fellow students, please re-remain calm…”

Just then, Quirinus Quirrell, the only professor on the train, seemed to have checked this compartment. He spoke with a stutter, appearing unreliable, with his head wrapped in a turban that concealed his rear head.

The moment he appeared, Harry felt a stabbing pain in the scar on his forehead, as if something was trying to burrow inside.

Walking down the aisle, Quirinus Quirrell took a deep look at Harry, but quickly turned away and continued speaking.

“We, we seem to have encountered a recent eerie event. Such events require finding the rules to respond to; there isn’t a very effective magic to dispel them directly, only to alleviate them.”

With the convenience of magic, wizards can handle eerie events more easily and are more likely to find patterns than ordinary people.

Meanwhile, as Quirinus Quirrell was providing a simple explanation, Tao Yu was scrutinizing him.

“Voldemort…isn’t on him? Or at least not at this moment…”

While Voldemort had originally been at the back of Quirinus Quirrell’s head, and Harry’s scar seemed to have reacted, it should only be some residual influence.

Feeling the darkness enveloping the train, Tao Yu suddenly felt enlightened.

“Voldemort wants to use his remaining body to harness eeriness? Well, that seems quite in line with this guy’s character. Suddenly causing trouble on the train, is it because Ron called Harry’s name, causing widespread discussion among the little wizards?”

Tao Yu was unsure if this was the reason, but now he was certain that the dark fog was related to Voldemort.

Voldemort had always been neither human nor ghost; he wouldn’t care about his image. Once the eerie appeared, Voldemort naturally wanted to exploit it further.

For resurrection, he can go to great lengths. And not to mention Voldemort has Soul Devices; even without them, there are alternative revival methods within eerie events that can be completed with balanced means!

“Originally, in the initial stage, there seems to be only a rare presence of eeriness carrying ghostly power. This should be something Voldemort painstakingly found or even cultivated. And is his target this time Harry? Or all the little wizards on the train…”

Speaking of Voldemort’s character, he’s no better than a village tyrant, much less in scope compared to Grindelwald.

But from beginning to end, he seems to have a complex feeling towards Hogwarts.

Whether it was the Snake Monster he directly controlled back then or the one later released using the Diary, he always followed certain rules, targeting only little wizards from Muggle families.

To pure-blood wizards, Voldemort still sees them as bloodlines and subordinates to take in.

For the entire younger generation of the British Magic World here at Hogwarts, he’s unlikely to take action against all of them.

“If Voldemort still retains his rationality, once he starts exploiting eerie events, he should be able to discern the troubles and threats within them.
